Deed books typically contain records of land transactions, mortgages, bills of sale, slave manumissions, powers of attorney, and sometimes marriage contracts. Deed books should always be consulted when doing genealogical research. This volume contains records from Orange County, Virginia Deed Book 9, 1743-1744, beginning on page 1 through page 284, for courts held 22 September 1743 through 8 March 1744/5; Orange County, Virginia Deed Book 10, 1745-1747, beginning on page 1 through page 534, for courts held 28 March 1745 through 30 October 1747; Orange County, Virginia Deed Book 11, Part I, 1747-1751, beginning on page 1 through page 240, for courts held 27 November 1747 through 20 September 1751; Orange County, Virginia Deed Book 11, Part II, 1734-1760, beginning on page 1 through page 67, for courts held 18 March 1734 through 28 August 1760; and Orange County, Virginia Deed Book 12, 1751-1759, beginning on page 1 through page 538, for courts held 23 May 1751 through 22 November 1759.

An every-name index adds to the value of this work.
